Glamorous Resiliency Keeps Everyone Going
A picture is worth a thousand words, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Having glamorous resiliency is important, especially when the chips are down.
What is your posture when navigating the rough waters?
The U.S. economy churns largely due to small businesses. It’s often hard to define a small business. Many believe it is those businesses with fewer than 50 employees.
When you try to find a concise definition, it is challenging. It may depend on the sector, it may depend on the size of the sector, and usually it is based on the number of employees and total revenue.
Small businesses represent the U.S. economic engine.
There is beauty in small business.
Glamorous Resiliency
Often there are fewer rules, politics and cliques are less intense or non-existent. Opportunities for fluid approaches, innovation, and employee flexibility are often greater.
Many small businesses run as they see fit. If it doesn’t fit, then they shift.
They are all fulfilling the needs of the customer.
This makes customer relationships better. They have stronger interactions, more meaningful conversations, and often the help is there exactly when the customer needs it the most.
Small businesses may sometimes be described as disadvantaged. They are known to be harder to scale, less resilient in the face of adversity, and less attractive for on-boarding the best talent.
In reality, this is exactly what makes them more attractive.
In life or in business, recognizing that your disadvantages may actually be your competitive edge, brings an entirely new range of opportunities.
Be glamorous.
Be resilient.
